Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine the wet ingredients. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients very slowly. It’s important to just trickle the wet ingredients in while mixing the dry ingredients vigorously with a fork. It may seem at first that there isn’t enough liquid to moisten the flour, but it’ll come out just fine.
Once the batter is made, fold in the stiff-beaten egg white.
Cook in waffle iron.
